Sound Off

The National Rifle Association says the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. I have never seen a bad guy with a gun in his holster. He always has it right in his hands.

— St. Clair ShoresThis is in response to the Sound Off caller from Mount Clemens. I have a better idea. After the customer unloads the items from the cart into the car, he should take the cart back into the store. If this is too much trouble or time consuming, just drop off the cart in the nearest cart corral in the parking lot. You not only would be helping out the clerks, you would be helping prevent accidents happening with the occasional runaway cart slamming into a car.

— RosevilleWhat has happened to the Republican Party? It seems now there are only two parties, the Democratic Party and the tea party. The tea party is running the Republican Party and telling it what to do. They have got to do something about the tea party and Grover Norquis and find some kind of way to disband them, or there won’t be a Republican Party for much longer.

— Warren I suggest that Congress use the new taxes that are being collected from everybody and spend it on something more productive than a bridge to nowhere.

— FraserIt will be interesting to see which corporation boards Gov. Rick Snyder will be sitting on once he leaves office. He is giving corporations so many benefits by signing all those bills.

— St. Clair ShoresRight or wrong, Gov. Rick Snyder is out of control. He approved bills right and left without the voters’ consent. I don’t think this is why we elected him. He is going to leave the state in a mess just like former Gov. John Engler did.

— St. Clair ShoresWhat does it take for the city of Center Line to get someone to come and shovel the sidewalks at 10 Mile Road and Van Dyke near the bus stop? Every winter, we have to walk through this mess, and it’s very dangerous. Someone is going to wind up getting themselves hurt. If they can’t shovel the entire sidewalk, at least make a pathway for us to walk on.

— Warren To be fair, the only people who should get income tax increases are those who now pay no income taxes.

— St. Clair ShoresWhy are union members acting so nuts? There are millions of people who would be tickled pink to join a union. Nevertheless, a person should have the freedom and liberty not to join. However, it should be made clear to the employer and union that these so-called independents should have to negotiate with the employer themselves for pay raises and benefits. They should not entitled to anything in union contracts with the employer. These people are independents, so treat them that way. Employers can easily fire members of a union. Nobody should be forced to join a union because that is tyranny.

— EastpointeAmerica does not need community service. America needs people in the armed forces. Choose the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines or Coast Guard. That is the best way to serve the country.

— Chesterfield TownshipGov. Rick Snyder proved he is nothing but a liar after approving the right-to-work law.

— Clinton Township Republicans say that Congress has to cut spending, but when it came to funding Hurricane Sandy victims, they added a lot of pork to it.

— Clinton TownshipThe average Democratic voter is not really uneducated. Some of them may be, but most of them are just filled with spite, hatred and vengeance.
